Nothing can beat BF:V, sadly it is completely dead in europe since 2006-7 ...

So. My old squad told me that they are coming together for BF3 - but I have some questions.

In a clanwar :

-What weapons do you play with ? Is everything unlocked ? Only the stuff you previously unlocked ? Is everything locked ? Obviously it has to be the same setting for all or this game is of absolutely no interest to me.

- Are the maps too big for 8v8 or do they play out good enough for that.

- Should I wait for a patch or is it fairly balanced ...

Thanks.

The posts above about small clan/squad combat has gotten me to thinking. And no that isn't dangerous and no I won't hurt myself. While the smaller combat might be fun, personally i don't think its really what Battlefield is supposed to be about.

I think that it would be pretty damn awesome if we found some platoons that would go 32v32 with us. We have talked about jumping on some squad deathmatch servers or squad rush and wrecking face, which I'm sure we would do. But I feel that we would be even better at a true team based Conq match.

Anyways, those are just my thoughts, and in all likelyhood they would be to scared to fight us anyways.

After watching those videos I decided to let loose more in games and focus on having fun and am actually getting loads more kills than normal. A minute ago I had over 3 rounds were I went over 30 kills and under 10 deaths every time, all the while throwing c4 on peoples feet/jihad jeeping/c4'ing vehicles all over the place/knifing it up. I'm amazed I didn't just kick back before like this. I am even getting more flag caps, one reason I think I'm doing better though is that I didn't have IRVN scopes for any support guns (now I do) and those scopes are addicting but also make you slow as hell moving around the map since you "scan" every five or six seconds. No more stiff play for me, all about the fun!

Regarding the balance, our team has been flying the stock only no attachments flag in the australian community (we are the minority). If this is the case it works out quite balanced as russia has map advantages but a shittier assault rifle and carbine. Balance will go out the window if F2000/SCAR-H with foregrips are allowed in clan wars lol.

I think it's ok to have weapons that are clearly the best, as long as each class gets one of those weapons such that you don't ditch your class to play another because that class is better due to the presence of one weapon.

TL;DR F2000 is fine, SCAR-H needs to be taken down a notch

Is there a consensus for the best assault rifle as there is for the engi with the SCAR-H? It seems like most people swear on the AEK.


Am I the only one who misses bombing runs? Missile pods are cool I guess, but it's not the same as dropping unguided bombs in horizontal flight. :/

Hey man, our team has been scrimming twice a night on most nights so I think i have a good grasp on how BF3 plays out in the competitive environment.(played bf2 and 2142 at the top level in clans etcetc). The big vehicle maps are too big to work for 8v8 in my opinion. Our team has been scrimming in the following format

-10v10
-All maps on conquest small mode, apart from bazaar which is set on 64p with tickets adjusted
-Stock Weapons only, no attachments,
-All vehicle perks bar thermal optics allowed

Suprisingly 10v10 works pretty well on caspian and firestorm, despite being large vehicle maps. Even though there are a lot of vehicles, we only run 1 person in the jet just as anti helicopter role on these big maps. I defintely get that BF vibe where your infantry and vehicles form into this cohesive team where you push flags together and then settle into tight lockdowns once you get the bleed (No capouts unfortunately ). Taking out armour on the infantry maps is really interesting due to the overpowered repair rate from engy sluts, you basically have to synchronise your AT and own armour fire at the same time to take it down.

Seine small CQ is an awesome map to play, such a highly tactical map because of the high ground that reminds me of mashtuur 16p in BF2. I think the smaller infantry maps would defintely work for 8v8, but not for vehicle maps.
